    Village BBQ in Merrick absolutely knocked it out of the park. The ribs were perfection — incredible flavor and beautifully tender meat. Even my very picky son said they were the best ribs he’s ever had, which says a lot. The brisket was excellent as well, with a great bark and outstanding taste. If you’re someone who only likes ultra-lean brisket, this might not be your thing, but for everyone else it was truly spectacular. The mac and cheese was a bit on the dry side, but that’s clearly the style here. If you like super creamy, wet mac and cheese, this may not be your side — but it was still well made and intentional. Big shout-out to the owner for letting me try the oxtail — it was absolutely superb and will 100% be my next order. Fantastic food, great experience, and I’ll definitely be back. If you want, I can make a shorter Yelp-style version, a Google Maps optimized version, or punch it up with a little more BBQ flair.Is this conversation helpful so far?

    We got a family meal for 3 - BBQ chicken, brisket, st Louis style ribs. Sides of corn on cob, Mac n cheese, baked beans, cornbread, cole slaw, sweet potato fries. Everything was delicious! Tender fall of the bone meats! Definitely going back. This place is real deal.

    Owner is super nice and friendly, more of an “Order Online” place due to the small seating. Beef Brisket Bomb was good, wasn’t aware on what was on it. I think if they displayed what was on each meal like they do online it would be better. Fair prices as well, the Owner Mr, Randy was super friendly when we walked in and greeted us. I most definitely recommend
